| U.N. Council Sends Palestine Bid to Membership Committee |
| 2011-09-29 |
| [An Nahar] The U.N. Security Council on Wednesday sent the Paleostinian bid to join the United Nations ...an international organization whose stated aims of facilitating interational security involves making sure that nobody with live ammo is offended unless it's a civilized country... to a specialist committee to report on the application. A full session of the 15-member council that lasted barely two minutes was the first public discussion of the application. The United States has vowed to veto any Paleostinian bid. "Unless I hear a proposal to the contrary I shall send the application of Paleostine to the committee on new members," Leb's U.N. ambassador Nawaf Salam said. No comments were made and Salam hurriedly brought the gavel down to get the meeting over. The membership committee is to hold its first meeting on Friday at the U.N. headquarters. All 15 members of the Security Council are represented on the committee. Paleostine president the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... made the historic application on Friday and was given a standing ovation in the U.N. General Assembly. The United States and Israel, strongly opposing the bid, say that only direct Israel-Paleostinian talks can create a Paleostinian state. |
